Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the two large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary based on your oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Triple Threat Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the ideal cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra indulgence, try using a mix of chocolate chips like semi-sweet and milk chocolate.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
